Steve S 60 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 No doubt she'll have earned more from writing the latter than performing the former. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dayo Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 And I guess most people know that the guy who gave us this: Northern Classic Also wrote this: Classic of a different sort 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Amsterdam Russ Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Of course there's the man who wrote this classic... ...but who is much more commonly known for this instantly recognisable theme tune. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Davenpete Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 My favourite one I noticed years ago is that Skiing in the Snow has the same writers, producers and arrangers as Native New Yorker. Dx Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Codfromderby Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 believe it or not jackie lee who did all the mirwood stuff is not the same jackie lee who did rupert the bear, however, jackie lee who did rupert the bear is emma rede who did the brill i gotta be with you, and theres a great version of walking the dog by a uk group where the drummer is the bloke who played jack sugden in emmerdale Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

This kind of mis-information is ruining the scene. In fact, I've got an acetate of the original demo of "Oh My Darling" where Jackie clearly sings "Oh My Trousers" - an oblique reference to his famous checked strides. And it's Nutwood not Mirwood - get your facts straight! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Benji Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Great Macka B vid. Or at least the parts I understood. Seems he mellowed down a bit (in a political sense). Last time I played his records was in the late 80s and he talked about to get rid of Maggie and described some blokes as coconuts (black on the outside and white inside). Edit: Sample taken from 54-46 was my number or is my number? Edited December 17, 2015 by Benji Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
